I'll rub these all over
Prada shoes from the fall collection. Neiman Marcus $550I love these shoes. oh my god, if i had somewhere to wear them, you bet your ass i would scrape up $550 somehow. I don't think these are really bridal shoes, they're more like "i'm going out dancing with my girlfriends" shoes.
Prada Shoes also from the fall collection at Neiman Marcus $730.
I love these shoes too, the backs to them are so cute. and these are more like cocktail party or little black dress shoes. very cute! they really spiced up boring black.

Could it be old navy?
Hell has officially frozen over. i actually bought something from old navy that fit well and i really liked for only $20. naturally i'm sure that most of you have had a problem with old navy in the past, but in the last year they've completely overhauled their designs and even their materials and sizing so normal people should be able to fit into their normal sized clothing. before i used to go there and buy like 2 tank tops of the same size and one would fit totally differently causing extreme annoyance. but now it seems that they've really worked hard and spent a lot of money to fix that problem. and let me introduce you to my new summer dress! ($20!!) and it fits perfectly. i was tempted to keep it in it's plastic wrap and open it again next year for my honeymoon so it felt brand new. and then i was like: oh my god, you're turning in abe. he's always wanting to keep things in plastic wrap for some reason.

Larry McLarry

my dad turned 60 this weekend. happy birthday to the man that tolerated me living in his house for 18 years and two summers. i think his life might be a lot different now that he doesn't have to wait for me to come home on a saturday night or worry about me draining his bank account. actually that's not really true, i could still drain his bank account without living there, it's called getting married. my dad was my basketball coach, my softball coach, he was at every important swim meet ever, and he took me out for ice cream (sherbert) more weekends than not, he even let me get a totally psycho dog and let me name her buffy of all things. i'm not a daddy's girl though, he likes to say No immediately and then sometimes, sometimes i can get him to change his mind.
"dad can i have $5?"
"No."
"why not?"
"why do you need it?"
(this is actually a really good question)
"i'm going to go to the driving range."
"Ok. No."
this time i was unsuccessful.
"dad can i borrow your car"
"No."
"why not?"
"I just don't want you to. can you make me a peanut butter and jelly?"
so for anyone who thought i was a daddy's little girl and all i had to do was make a certain face or do a special tap dance, you'd be wrong. my dad is very traditional and he likes to say no to me so that i can make my own way.
my dad's favorite meal is steak and cheese, but he calls them cheesesteaks for some reason. i couldn't even count the amount of cheesesteaks he's had in his lifetime. but i do know he passed down the obsession to my brother. it skipped me, that's dude food. he used to go to burger king and get a value meal with a chocolate shake. that's kind of strange right? a grown man drinking a chocolate shake? sometimes he has a sweet tooth. another really great thing about my dad is that he got braces at the age of 55. his teeth look much better now, and he got them whitened at the dentist. at that age i'd figure who cares.... but he did. perhaps the funniest thing about my dad is that sometimes he mows the the lawn on his ultra high tech sit down lawn mower with headlights while drinking a coors light. i don't see too many dads doing that in our suburb.
happy birthday larry.

No.9 Park
We had a gift certificate so we tried out No.9 Park last night for dinner with friends. We chose to do the chef's tasting with wine pairing set menu so we could really get to know this restaurant since the rumor is that it's closing it's doors soon. there were 7 courses with an extra cheese course, i was sooooo full by the end. there is a chef's menu on their website, but that's not really what we got. however, it's somewhat similar in flavors. the ribeye was my favorite followed by the prune stuffed gnocchi which was really sweet. the fishes were also cooked really well, since i'm not really a huge fish person and i still enjoyed them. the wine pairings were interesting....i wouldn't say they were all good, but a few of them were excellent. the cheese was strange and stinky, but that was also interesting, i mean how often do you have really strange cheese? i wish i remember the names of all of them, but of course there was too much to absorb and i lost most of it. all in all, it was good, but not great. i thought i was going to go in there and have the best meal ever, but i wouldn't even put that in my top 10 best meals ever. the service was impeccable though really, i mean they walk you to the restroom and everyone smiles at you and is very cordial. we did hear that it wasn't going to be spectacular since they were closing soon and it's gone down hill, but we still had to try it. this was more of an experience dinner. we got to hear all about how things were prepared, how the wine pairings were chosen, why the cheese was stinky, and it was all very educational....but was it good? it was Pretty Good.

Both are out of my range sadly. I think i'm going to buy a pair of inexpensive mary janes for work and just really love this shade of blue and i love feathers right now!

Photography Mess
I'm having a photography problem. we've interviewed 3 photographers. 1 way out of price range, 1 somewhat out of price range, 1 super in price range. so of course we reserved the super in price range company, but i'm having a lot of doubts. i just feel in my gut that's a really bad decision. of course i had to email the other 2 out of range photographers to let them know we went with someone else, and one of them asked who we chose. of course he wasn't going to say: great choice! he actually seemed genuinely concerned that we made a bad decision and told me to keep looking and gave me 2 links to people he knew were less expensive than him. the thing is that i knew that i was having extreme doubts even before i got that email. using a large company to capture a personal day just seems all around wrong. some things are really good when done large scale, but i really don't think it's my wedding day. i like small things, intimate things, dinners of 4 or 6 people, drinks for 2, anyone who knows me knows this. i don't like large groups of people, i don't like going out in big crowds of chicks, i like to keep it personal and low key and i don't want a stranger photographing my wedding....This problem will be solved.

Mr.Crepe i love you
i had my very first crepe this weekend from Mr.Crepe in davis square. seriously people, i can't believe what i've been missing out on. i got a super crepe, i think it's called that, but anyways it's just an extra large crepe. mine had grilled chicken, baby spinach, sundried tomatos (my fav), some kind of full bodied cheese, all wrapped up in a mega crepe. it was absolute heaven. i might have died and gone to crepe heaven. i was actually angry at myself for missing out on so many crepes for all these years. i thought that they were only eaten with fruit and whipped cream or something, which is actually not all that appealing to me, but when i found out they could also be savory, i could have just died. my life might never be the same!

I'll take 2
i once watched Bridezillas. it was an episode where this very large woman bought a dress and then of course a few months later it didn't fit. but not only did it not fit, it didn't zip. so she wanted to get a new dress (For Real!!). her mom and dad conferenced saying that they wouldn't allow it. the woman then asks them on camera and the mom stays strong and says no, and the dad falters at the puppy face she's making and says ok (what an idiot!!). of course the mom gets all fired up that their united front fell apart. her advice to her daughter is to: push away the plate!! probably the most hilarious advice i'd ever heard. and now i'm thinking about this as i eat my second sandwich of the day. the first one was brought from home and was nothing too special but would have been a fine lunch. the second one was leftover from a lunch meeting and it was a Panera mediterranean veggie sandwich. i never ever say no to something that awesome. laura: push away the plate!!

Day 2: AquaFresh White Trays
Not good. not good at all. my gums are so irritated they are bleeding. i read a lot of reviews on these and it seems that most people have excellent results but some people have very very bad results with chemical burns on their gums and enamel problems.... interesting. i think that i will try using them a few more times careful to keep the gel off my gums, but also for shorter periods of time. my teeth are whiter though : )

Fage
on a whim i bought greek yogurt at the grocery store on saturday. i got Fage Total 0% and i think i'm hooked. i'm kind of mad that i only got two to try."FAGE Total 0% Made from skimmed cow's milk and yogurt culture. Perfect for your diet with 0% fat and 100% taste. FAGE Total 0% offers a low carbohydrate yogurt that is high in protein. Simply Tasty!"
normally, i buy yogurt that's lowfat on sale. so whatever is there is fine with me, i feel like it mostly all tastes the same somewhere around 75 cents per container. this one is about $2.20 per yogurt, which is more expensive but i feel oddly more satisfied. i guess it's not that odd since there's double the amount of protein, but it's about the same amount of yogurt. it tastes kind of like lowfat sour cream.

this was a bad movie steven king
The Langoliers is probably the worst movie ever made from a steven king book. i only say 'probably' because i'm a fraidy cat and i haven't seen more than a handful of his movies. however, i can say that when i watched all his other movies i was totally scared shitless and i had nightmares for days and probably slept with the lights on. i can't really do that now, abe would tell me to cut the shit. the langoliers was on the sci-fi channel last night, and i'm not sure how we started watching it but i think we just never bothered to change the channel and then as abe would say "we were invested"... and it was a 2 part movie. the first part was 2 hours. the second part was two hours. who were the suckers? yeah i know, it wasn't the best way to spend a sunday evening. in steven king's defense it was 1995 and technology isn't what it is today, but in my defense it was 1995 not 1985!!! it was like a stoneage graphics department zooming an airplane around, and then of course they had to throw in a blind person for special effect. but she didn't look blind. i hope nobody else had to suffer through what we suffered through last night and had the ability to change the channel if they came by it.

Batman continued...
It was worth it. even sitting so close that i had to lean my neck back, and sometimes i really couldn't tell what was going on in action scenes, it didn't matter. it was still a pretty good movie. i think it's hilarious they just tried to pretend katie holmes never happened and now maggie gyllenhal just took her place. oh well. maggie was better. i was afraid that it was going to be too hyped up with heath ledger's death before the release, but actually i'm not sure that was it. he was really good in it. he was so good that i kept forgetting it was him. he didn't look like him or sound like him, but it was. go see it.

Angry Wasps
i was late this morning, but i found myself waiting for the bus to porter anyways instead of just making the 5 min. walk to davis because it was steamy hot out. i waited far too long, i should have just walked. anyways, there was a cop on a motorcycle on the other side of the street just hanging out. i was thinking: hm that's odd. then i finally get on the bus and get a seat. we drove by a cop giving a ticket to a poor lady in a mini van who seriously looked lost. i thought: it's rush hour, he's causing serious traffic. i hop off the bus at porter, and i cross the street and stand in the median. i hear yelling, so i look to my right and there's a cop struggling with a van taxi driver. the taxi driver is yelling things about black men and race, etc. the cop looks totally ridiculous in his motorcycle helmet and funny pants and bright yellow jacket thing....kind of like an angry wasp. in the 5 seconds i'm standing there 2 more cops on motorcycles turn up with sirens on to help magnify the problem i'm sure, and causing way more traffic. i'm sure the taxi driver had actually done something to deserve the scuffle, and that he was just totally resisting arrest, but i could not believe that everyone was literally just standing around watching. it was quite the show in the early morning. i had to keep going, i actually started to get nervous that someone was going to pull a gun from somewhere and i didn't want to be standing on a median on mass ave when it happened.

save the pineapples!
today on the T was more sardine can-ish than usual.
me - standing there reading my book squished in between a dude with a typical work laptop type bag over one shoulder and holding a suit over the other shoulder. he was talking about something work related to a girl next to him nonstop. Nonstop! that's what i get for not wearing my ipod today. they were talking about temporary worksite buildings. i wanted to gag and rip out his cheap banana republic cloth cuff links. on the other side of me was an asian chick all out of sorts, digging through a bag, stuff flying every which way and somehow she was writing music all at once. i couldn't even concentrate on my book, i really wanted to not hear this guy talking about the most boring shit on the planet but i kept getting bumped by someone who's frazzle was leaking all over me. i kept looking at the stops....and each time i was like: how can we not even be to harvard yet!! suddenly my shirt was getting hiked up, and i'm like: who is the asshole. turns out the worksite builder's laptop had velcro on it and my shirt was stuck to it and every time he moved my shirt moved awkwardly. i got my shirt back. 3 seconds later it was stuck again. this went on for 3 stops. finally he get off the T, ruining my shirt on his way out. but i was free from pompous worksite building. Free! i just wanted to throw my book right at his fat head on his way out, but then i'd lose my book and that wouldn't be cool, i'd much rather find out if jason bourne blew up the world or not.
i know that i'm pmsing when i want to throw things at harmless commuters. it's ok, don't fear for your lives, i know it's me not the world.
so i'm going to see batman on friday like a total geek. i really do want to see it, i love going to the movies. but what i want to see even more than batman is pineapple express!! james franco! where the F has he been, he's been gone so long that i forgot how stunning he is. you must know you're smokin hot if you can be in a movie almost unrecognizable and still stop traffic. he'd be on mary's hot tamale train for sure.

book your Restaurant Week reservations!!!
i got the email this afternoon and now i have 4 dinner reservations. i know that sounds obscene, but i never keep all of them due to scheduling conflicts that i can't predict a month adhead of time and sometimes you need to take what you can get. i just like to be able to write it in my calendar and use it if it's convenient. i would have visited these restaurants anyways by the end of summertime knowing my dining out schedule. soon i will be testing:
Sage
Excelsior
Sibling Rivalry
Tremont 647
the south end is way representing there. these are all new restaurants to me so i hope to not be let down or left hungry.

hello gorgeous!
i think we found our photographer last night. in all honesty, i had no idea how hard it would be to book a photographer. the good ones book up lightening fast. i called 5 out of my list of 15 or so that the venue gave me, and 2 were already booked for my date next year. to me that's just crazy! but we were both really confident in the guy we met with last night, so we're just going to talk to one more on monday just for comparison. but i really have to respect someone that can keep his cool when i'm trying to price bargain. if the expression: "you get what you pay for" is true, then we'll be getting a whole lot of awesome.

a bag full of what?
my shoulder is killing me. i'm carrying too much to work....but how, i only bring what i need:
wristlet
leather dayplanner
paperback book
gym clothing
sneakers
coffee in container
water bottle - empty
my lunch - today: melon, dehydrated soup, yogurt.
a brush
aleve
that does not seem like it should weigh as much as it does, but if i had to estimate, i'd guess it was upwards of 10 pounds or more. most days i wear my sneakers instead of carrying them, but they're pretty light anyways. this morning i took my lunch in a separate bag, but my bag was still beyond what i wanted to carry on my shoulder. i think this is a problem a lot of commuters like me have.

a night of
infamous pain.
we had a lovely mexican dinner at rudi's in teele square. a couple glasses of sangria and everyone was having a great time so we strolled over to johnny d's and as usual the place was full of weird people who were mostly middle aged. we kept going and landed at diva in davis. diva to me is skinny pete's bar, and i have no idea why i would associate a really nice indian bar with a really skinny industrial engineer who owns a grayhound and wears driving shoes for his jeep. so we get a nice little loungey area to relax and order lots of mysterious drinks. in fact, we were talking about ham radios. abe's dad and scotty's dad are really into whatever these things are. and i got so tanked that i was like: i don't get it, is there actual ham or like meat? yeah, i had way too much to drink at that point. you people need to go to this place just so you can use the bathrooms. they're the funniest bathrooms ever. the dj played regulators, which meant abe had been fulfilled and it was time to move on. unfortunately we didn't go home at this point, which is what we should have done. instead we went to red bones, but it was too busy, so we went to some super dive bar next to the burren. it was disgusting. i think i made enough god awful faces to make it stop....but it didn't stop. we came home with friends in tow and the boys opened a bottle of wine and played guitar hero until way too late at night. our neighbors are totally going to kill us. a glass was broken, wine was spilled everywhere, glass got stuck in feet, and then we could finally sleep. and then the puking started. now i remember why i don't drink mixed drinks like that. i was being taught a Beer Only lesson.

megan: stupid 20 year old bitches. they think they are so hot. did we think we were that hot at 20? probably...
me: yeah at 20 i thought i was the best thing going! every year i lost a little bit of that attitude. i think i have several years to go.
megan: I think we have a right to still think that we're better then most people out there, because, i mean, we are!
beyond the ludacris thoughts of the day. on a sidenote, the french film festival has arrived at the MFA. Yes, films are subtitled. Yes, tons of people go by themselves. Yes, sometimes there's full frontal male nudity. Who wants to go?

Apple Heist
This morning was a morning like any other in my life: woke up, got ready, made coffee, watched the today show. i walked to the T, so thankful that it wasn't a hot humid day like the rest of the week had been. i saw a woman fall off her bike...apparently she got scared by a driver who went by the cross walk really fast and one minute she was waiting right next to me, and the next minute i heard loud swearing and she was on the ground. i guess she was so startled that she just went and fell over. she was yelling about taking down the license plate of the car, and i'm like: lady, that makes no sense you fell over on your own. the car was like 4 feet away. she's also wearing those sunglasses that i thought only blind people wore. the kind that literally lets no light at all into the eye region, they just kind of wrap all the way around. so i figured she might actually be blind and insane and i picked up her bike and kept walking far away. i finally make it to the T and i start reading my book and then it hits me.... i never packed my lunch!! i left my lunch at home in the fridge. if you know me, you know i hate buying lunch, i really prefer to bring something pre-planned and healthy. i wanted to go back, but i had gone way too far....
and so at lunchtime, i ran down to super salad and got a veggie wrap and an apple. the lady rang me up.... What did that say?? my apple was 97 cents. that can't be real, i mean it's a piece of freakin fruit. but it was true. that seems totally and completely ridiculous to me! if this apple is 97 cents, i hope that it's filled with a caramel center. i'm never buying fruit there again, and i'm never going to forget my lunch at home again.

Honeymoon....
i think we've finally decided. we're going to Bora Bora in French Polynesia for a week and on the way back we'll stop in Australia for a week to see the great barrier reef and the sydney opera house, etc. bora bora is expensive! so we can really only stay there for a week and then australia happens to be on a route home, so it works out pretty well. there was a lot to think about for the honeymoon: first off the euro was freaking killing us. i mean there's no way i want to spend that much money in europe when i know that it eventually could be a lot more affordable, and it's not like we'll never have another chance to go to italy or paris or something. i really wanted a beach, and not just any beach, i wanted the best possible beach for the money with crystal clear water and hot hot sun. having a little island over water hut of accommodations didn't hurt either, we were looking at those on the maldives as well. so nothing is final, but we can book everything in 30 days and we'll see if we need to make any changes.

Crazy dreaming
i had my first wedding nightmare. it was horrible. there were lots of problems with my dress and i had 3 tailors there trying to fix it for me. later i was almost ready and my mom realized that i never got my makeup done so i just had none on, which meant i tried to do it myself and of course i got it all over my dress somehow - damn those mineral makeups. i think the ceremony might have been called off... or post poned in some way because later everyone was drinking all the bevies but i never saw abe anywhere. my dad had one of those smallish bottles of whiskey that he was drinking and he saved one for me. i don't think it was trying to tell me anything, i just think i had too many peanut M&Ms before going to bed. my stomach hurts this morning.

On the beach in Provincetown waiting for our dinner reservation. there were lots of bugs.
Wine tasting at the Truro Vineyard. we bought a case on the way out, that's how good it was.
abe and yuri are tackling the biggest breakfast ever. it looks like a ton of food, but honestly we finished almost all of it because we all love to eat so much. i guess that's kind of disgusting.
We rented a little dingy and i really was nervous that i'd fall into the ocean... i'm afraid of open water. i mean really, yuri was driving it until just this moment when we all took a shot at it. i hated driving it, i felt like i was an erratic driver.

Winslow's Tavern - Wellfleet
after the whole seadog debacle, we went on a little tour of the cape area driving around through chatham and seeing all the places that we could not afford to stay in. and suddenly we were determined to find pizza. all we wanted was a good hearty pizza and beer. there's no such thing as pizza and beer in chatham of course, so we kept driving. we drove and drove, and suddenly i could feel the dog food chili dancing in my stomach. i thought i might puke, so instead i fell into a deep sleep and 35 minutes later it seemed we were still on the pizza hunt. it was almost dinner time and without satisfying our earlier hunger, we lost our minds along the way. we ended up at another tourist restaurant again back in eastham called the fairway or fairview or something that and there was a 40 minute wait for pub style crap food. so we piled back into the car and headed to downtown wellfleet, parked, spotted a restaurant with outdoors tables and walked right in. it's this really nice house that was formerly an inn and there's outdoor patio seating, but the main problem with this place is that our waitress was a total Bitch. she was rude, and let me tell you that she had no reason to be such a bitch, we racked up a huge bill. i believe that getting water is standard at a decent restaurant: she forgot ours. every other table there had a basket of bread: we never got it. it's not saying much when the bus girls and boys are a billion times more friendly than the wait staff. anyways, beyond the service. we all got grilled lobster with garlic butter. i wasn't too impressed. i think grilling isn't how i like my lobsters, i prefer steamed. and the lobster was split down the middle and actually instead of making this easier to manage, it made it harder. it was very mediocre. very overpriced for mediocre lobster. the funny thing is that later in the weekend we met a chef who used to manage that restaurant years back, and we were all like: yeah the food was just ok, and he totally understood. we took a few wrong turns in our dining experiences, but how else do you really know unless the locals tell you? ... because this restaurant was also Zagat rated...

The SeaDog - Eastham
Sometimes you're starving: you feel like your stomach is eating itself from the inside out. even if this is the case, do not step foot into this tourist restaurant. it's decieving! there is a cute sign outside with a white dog wearing a fisherman's hat, there's tons of cars in the parking lot, and it was consistently busy at all times. we tried it, and barely lived to tell the tale. i had a cup of barley soup, which is a pretty standard soup. i can say that progresso canned soup is 20 times better, and that you should never ever have to add as much salt as i had to add to any soup. we decided to order a few appetizers just to get over our hunger till dinner time so we ordered nachos, stuffed quohogs, and peel and eat shrimp. this was all a mistake! the nachos tasted like they had dog food all over them instead of chili, even the salsa was bad, even the jalapenos were too pickled. the stuffed quohogs weren't cooked all the way through, and they looked slimey. the peel and eat shrimp was too disgusting to really talk about, but as abe said "it looks like they were all fed a thanksgiving dinner last night and now there here on my plate." nobody wants to eat shrimp like that! we literally left more than half the food given to us on the table, paid the check and left. we never do that, i don't think i've ever even left food on a table before. it was a very disturbing moment in time.

Imagine a super good looking host in expensive designer jeans waiting for you to put your name in for dinner only to find out there's a 1.5 hour wait. oh well, he convinced me. 404 bistro is so new in provincetown that they don't even have a website yet, it's been open for only a few weeks and it shows. i don't think they really understand how to time reservations. we did not have to wait as long as we did, there were open tables at all times. the waiters also serve as bartenders, which actually slows down service to the point of wanting to jump the bar and mix your own drink. our waiter was R-U-D-E. he was giving us serious attitude until we started ordering lots of wine and spending money, and then he was slightly nicer, but he was never really nice or a good waiter or even good looking. and then there was atleast 45 minutes between our appetizers and our main dish, which actually caused us to miss the fireworks...but that wasn't a huge deal since the food was so good. i got pork chops with a corn and tomato summer salsa on top. it was pretty amazing. i love pork. abe got a lobster pasta dish that knocked his socks off. the broth was really light as opposed to the thick creamy sauce you sometimes see on lobster pasta dishes. yuri got cod wrapped in something, he said it was really good and i believe him. for dessert we got gelato and something else that's escaping my memory, but the gelato was good. it was really light but creamy at the same time. i'd go back because the food was so good, but i hope they get their shit together soon.

Judgement: Coach
i think Coach is hideous. i think the bags with the giant Cs are nauseating and so the bigger they are the uglier they are. i think the little bags with the little Cs are somewhat less nauseating- but only because i have one. i think that the hats, belts, key chains, etc, all worn at once is like projectile C throw up.I will admit that i Love these shoes. i favor the black flats, they're just adorable. it's like Madeline for adults and people who hate Cs on their belongings.
the footwear designer is obviously against the Cs as much as i am. maybe she's a cute little asian chick too.

The treasure hunt
"one man's trash is another man's treasure"
since when is trash ever considered to be treasure? i know, i know.
if you say: this dress just doesn't fit right would you like it?? = Treasure.
if you say: this dress is so ugly, do you want it?? = Trash.
do you want my artichokes, i don't eat them = treasure!
will you eat these artichokes, they look moldy to me = trash!
if you're going to sell it, you better sell it right, and you should probably not call it trash.

lettuce attack
i'm having a really strong craving. i'm dying for PF Changs lettuce wraps, it's probably the strongest craving i've had in a long time, i'm afraid what might happen if i don't get them anytime soon.....
but since we're getting our first CSA pickup today of veggies, having dinner with abe's parents tomorrow, and then heading to the cape first thing friday morning i'm thinking PF Changs isn't going to happen : ( lobster will just have to do for now.
